Chapter 228

The moment the Kains arrived in the dinning table their daughter approached them . Evangeline who was in such a tense atmosphere moments ago, felt relieved to see the faces of her parents .

"Welcome it’s been a while since we last met, Robert . " Carlo approached Robert and Molly Kain . Alongside him was Michel .

"Yes, it has been quite some time, Mr . Samarita . " Robert greeted Carlo with a smile on his face .

"No need to call me Mr . Samarita . Just call me Carlo, seeing as our kids are close friends . Why don’t we adults become good friends as well . " Carlo extended his hand toward Robert for a handshake . Robert was surprised for a moment, then smiled as he shook Carlo’s hand .

"Very well, to our newfound friendship Carlo . "

"To our friendship . Oh, by the way this is my wife Michel . " Carlo gestured at the person behind him . Michel hearing her name went forward .

"I’m Michel Samarita, it’s a pleasure to meet you . " The cool looking lady beside Carlo spoke to Robert, and his wife . They already knew that they were about to meet Alex’s parents, which was basically the mother and the father, but seeing Michel still surprised them a bit . They knew who this was since she was quite a famous fashion designer .

"It’s our pleasure as well . Allow me to introduce my wife, Molly . " Robert did the same as Carlo and introduced his own wife who stepped forward .

"It’s a pleasure to meet you two . I hope our friendship will last for a long time . " After their introduction the four of them started doing some small talk . While the four of them were talking, Dan and Kumiko approached the group to introduce themselves to the new arrivals .

The moment Robert saw Dan approach him, he had his guard up . The stories told by the old former merc, really spooked him . This man in front of him with a childlike smile was actual called a devil, and not only that he fought tanks with his bare hands . Little did he know that there were three others in the room, who were just as scary as him .

Once the parents were done introducing themselves, the dinner finally started . On the left side of the table, the Regius family sat in a comfortable manner . On the right side of the table, sat the Kains, a bit tense . While at the end of the table sat the Samaritas . Lilitth was happily sitting between her new mother, and her father .

The moment the food was served, Dan didn’t bother with manners, and started eating like a starving wolf . Since he was in battle awhile ago, his right fist that was bleeding was patched up, and he actually used the full force of RELEASE, Dan was really hungry . Seeing how her father ate like an animal, made Rachel embarrassed .

On the other hand Robert had a different opinion, seeing Dan eat so leisurely in another person’s home, meant that he was that much closer to the Samaritas .

While they were eating, the dinning table was a bit silent, and toe everyone’s surprise the one who broke the silence, was Michel .

"So Evangeline what is your current class ranking?" Not expecting Michel to actually speak to her, Evangeline couldn’t respond immediately and just looked shocked . Seeing her daughter not responding Molly pinched Evangeline . Finally regaining her wits Evangeline answers with a smile .

"I’m first in my class ranking, third in school ranking, and tenth on the national scale" Both Robert and Molly were proud as they heard their daughter say she was tenth on the national scale . Even with all her extracurricular activities, plus her duty as a Kain, she was still able to have such a high ranking .

"How about you Rachel?" When Rachel heard Michel ask Evangeline that question, she was already expecting that she too will be questioned in the same way . So without delay she answered .

"I’m third in class, fourth in the school ranking, and eleventh on the national scale . " Aside from her third in class remark, Rachel was actually one rank lower than Evangeline, in every category . This just made Evangeline and her parents feel like they somehow won something . Rachel, on the other hand, didn’t like the feeling that she was losing to Evangeline of all people .

"I see, how about you Alex?" Even though Michel already knew the answer to this question, she still asked it, since seeing the other parents look proud of their kids accomplishments, she too wanted to show them that her son was the best .

"I’m first in class, first in the school ranking, and recently on the national scale I am also number one . " Evangeline’s parents were shocked to hear Alex’s level was higher than their daughter . So not only is Alex richer, in a more influential family, he was also smarter than their daughter . Seeing the surprise face of Evangeline’s parents as well as Kumiko made Michel feel proud . It actually also made Lilitth look proud, while Carlo simply enjoyed listening in . Dan on the other hand didn’t care for the conversation and continued eating .

"I see, so are you a good cook Rachel?" Michel started asking another question .

"I more or less know how to cook . "

"How about you Evangeline?"

"I’m sorry but I have never tried cooking before . "

"How about cleaning? Rachel . "

"I’m average . "

"Evangeline?"

"Actually I’m quite good in cleaning . I think it’s actually quite fun . "

"How are your extracurricular activities?" Michel once again asked another question .

"I’m in the same club as your son . It’s called the Mercenary Club . " Rachel was the first to answer .

"I’m the student Council President . " Followed by Evangeline’s answer .

"What is favorite sport, Rachel?"

"My favorite sport is full contact Karate . " Rachel decided to tell the truth, instead of opting to saying tennis which she didn’t find that much fun . Usually when people ask her what her favorite sport was, she would answer tennis, since that sounds more feminine . But now she answered the truth since she felt like Michel could see right through her .

"How about you Evangeline?"

"My favorite sport is archery . "

Hearing the answer of the two girls, made Michel smile a bit . The two girls in front of her might look very girly and a bit frail, but somehow hearing their answer, Michel thought they weren’t all that frail after all . Michel then continued asking question after question .

Alex who was listening in, was confused as to why Michel was questioning the two girls like it was an interrogation . The two girls in question felt like their in job interview . While on the other hand, the parents of the two girls excluding Dan, felt like this was a marriage interview . It was like Michel was picking the best candidate to be her son’s lover between the two girls .
